Childhood Cancer Predisposition in the Genomics Era
On June 29, 2020, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) presented a virtual childhood cancer lecture featuring Sharon E. Plon, MD, PhD. Dr. Plon's lecture focuses on the many discoveries over the last five years related to genetic susceptibility to childhood cancer that has resulted from exome and genome sequencing of different pediatric cancer cohorts.
During this lecture, participants will:
1) Learn about the overall proportion of childhood cancer patients that have germline susceptibility.
2) Understand the specific relationships between tumor histopathology and the likelihood of identifying a variant in cancer susceptibility genes.
3) Learn about the unexpected relationship between previously identified adult cancer susceptibility genes and childhood cancer.
